TENABLE VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT
PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION REVIEW
SCRIPT 2026 ACCURATE Q&A
COLLECTION
◉(Technology Overview)
Discuss hardware requirements for various components. Answer:
Tenable.sc Hardware
8GB of RAM
125GB of Storage
Four(4) 2GHz Cores
Nessus Scanner Hardware
4GB of RAM
30GB of Storage
Four(4) 2GHz cores
◉(Technology Overview)
Explain how Tenable.sc and Nessus can be deployed in virtualized
environments. Answer: It can either be deployed through Tenable
,Core as a virtual image, or implemented as a traditional application
on supported platforms (i.e. rhel, centos, etc)
◉(Technology Overview)
Describe licensing for Tenable.sc. Answer: - IP in two repositories
only counts once
- For multiple network interfaces on single host, each interface
actively scanned counts
- Host discovery scans do not count
◉(Deployment Considerations)
Identify Tenable.sc and Nessus scanners placements in an
environment. Answer: Tenable.sc is typically managed by the NOC or
SOC.
◉(Deployment Considerations)
Determine required network connection speed between Tenable.sc
and Nessus. Answer: The network connection between Tenable.sc
and Nessus should be persistent and be at least 1MBps.
◉(Deployment Considerations)
Explain factors that should be considered when determining the
number of Nessus scanners for deployment. Answer: The number of
Nessus scanners required for a deployment depends on network
, partitions, network bandwidth, the number of hosts in a network
partition and the types of scans being run.
◉(Deployment Considerations)
Describe connectivity requirements for Tenable.sc and Nessus
scanners. Answer: For every 500 hosts that are being scanned, only
one Nessus scanner is needed. However, Nessus scanners can be
configured to scan multiple network partitions.
◉(Nessus Deployment)
List the different types of sensors. Answer: Tenable Core + Nessus,
Nessus,
Tenable.io
◉(Nessus Deployment)
Define Tenable Core + Nessus. Answer: Tenable Core + Nessus is a
pre-built virtual image for VMware, Hyper-V, dedicated hardware
and Microsoft Azure.
◉(Nessus Deployment)
Demonstrate the configuration. Answer: Demonstrate
